La Mesan Riffs on Obama Selfie at Nelson Mandela Funeral

Ron Ellsworth of La Mesa shared his thoughts with President Obama taking a selfie at Nelson Mandela's funeral with the LA Times last week:
"We hold these truths to be selfie-evident, that all men are created fatuously equal, that they are endowed by the tech creators with certain inalienable rights and devices, that among these are computers, smartphones and the pursuit of all artifices of happiness."
In the picture with Obama are British Prime Minister David Cameron and Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning Schmidt.
